Numeric operation¤
The numOperation plugin applies one of the four basic arithmetic operators to the sequence of input values.
These are the fundamental operations of addition (+), subtraction (-), multiplication (*)
and division (/).
Notice that the symbol ÷ can’t be used for the ‘division’ operator, and remember that one
should never divide by null. Doing so will result in Infinity.
The computations are done with
double-precision floating-point numbers.
This means that e.g. integers such as 1 or 2 will be converted to 1.0 and 2.0.
This also regards the output of the operation, as in 1 + 1 leading to 2.0 rather than the integer 2.
Only the four basic arithmetic operations are allowed (and understood) by this numeric transformer plugin. If an invalid operation is given, an error or exception will occur. In the same manner, if the values aren’t (valid) numbers, a validation exception will be raised.
